how is carrying the g36 compared to the g30? I'm seriously contemplating picking up a glock 30 and my only concern is about the width of the gun and if that will be a problem for EDC.

i currently carry a snub that measures 1.318 in width, and the g30 is only 1.28 or something in width but i have my doubts that it will be as comfortable as my snub. it feels great in my hands, but didn't have a chance to wear it IWB so any input would be great.

if i'm perfectly fine carrying my snub IWB as my EDC, will the g30 be that bad?

Keep in mind that a snub is wide around the cylinder, but narrow everywhere else. The G30 is wide everywhere. That being said, it isn't too bad if you get a holster that doesn't add much thickness. The G36 feels a bit better IWB but not by a huge amount IMO. The biggest difference for me is in concealability. Shirts that would make the G30 print slightly are no problem with the G36.

I have carried the 30 IWB and it is tolerable. It actually is pretty comfy all day. But when my day goes beyond 8 hours or so, it gets to be a bit of a PITB. I like having the capacity of the 30 with a spare 21 mag. But the 36 is the most comfortable larger caliber weapon that I have for IWB carry. I usually have the 7 in the gun and 1 spare mag, sometimes 2. I just have to be aware of that before getting involved in anything as an off-duty PO.

The 36 has been my primary go to off-duty gun in these last few hot NY summer weeks.

I really like my G36 ..one of my favorite carry guns...I also own a Glock 21 Gen 4 ... which also is a great gun .. but I carry the 36 alot more..

I use a holster I purchased for my G23..its a OWB open top, no strap pancake purchased it on ebay...I use it for 3 pistols My G36 ,G23 ,and my S&W SD9VE
Here in TN you have carry permits...open carry or concealed

A Glock 36 is a great gun. But it could never replace my LCP because of its size and how I use my LCP. But if you were not in need of a pistol to put in your back pocket or ankle carry, etc. and just carry IWB, a 36 is a good one to have. I would not get an LCP for a primary carry gun unless that was all I could afford and I needed a wide range of carry options. As for me I prefer to carry my SR1911 CMD first and foremost and then my XDs45. But always tagging along with me (most of the time) is my LCP.
